Did You Know?

As an Oxford member, you have access to Oxford On Call.  Oxford On- Call provides numerous benefits to members.  It is a 24 hour healthcare guidance hotline.  Registered nurses identify caller symptoms and recommend the next steps a member should take.  This may include instructions for self care, recommendation for a visit to an urgent care facility or emergency room, specialist referrals, or the activation of an emergency procedure, such as calling 911.  They are available to handle after-hours medical management issues that must be resolved before the next business day.  If a member needs to be discharged from the hospital, an On-Call nurse can arrange for things such as home care, durable medical equipment, transportation or physical therapy.

For more information, please call (718) 990-2363.
